The first is “Jackie,” a biographical drama about Jackie Kennedy, played by Natalie Portman, following her husband’s assassination, and the second is “Neruda,” about the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet (Luis Gnecco) who becomes a fugitive in his own country and an inspector’s (Gael García Bernal) search for him.
